This stunning Gallo-Roman glass goblet, modeled after an original 4th-century find from what was then the Roman province of Gaul, embodies the elegance and artistry of its era. As the province transitioned to Frankish rule in the early 5th century, at the cusp of the Migration Period, pieces like this have become treasured links to a fascinating historical crossroads.
With a refined twisted design and a beautifully sculpted body, this goblet is both visually striking and comfortable to hold, perfectly sized with a base for balanced display. Holding approximately 45 cl, it is as enjoyable to use as it is to showcase, offering collectors an exquisite piece that captures the grace and craftsmanship of late Roman Gaul.
